Quinoa Banana Muffins (Gluten/Dairy/Nut/Refined Sugar-Free)

I've been contemplating muffin tins. More specifically, I've been thinking about the size of muffin tins. I always worried that my muffin recipes might be off because the cups were too small. When I moved home, I took out my mom's muffin pans and realized that they were the same size. Recently, I found a muffin tin that looked how I expect muffins to appear; it was labeled "jumbo." Yet when I go to any store or cafe to buy muffins, they're always the size of the "jumbo" muffins. Makes you think, doesn't it?

When I make muffins, I always tell myself, "Well, they're small. I can have two (or three)." Now I'm trying to get it into my head that they're not small; "normal" muffins are just really big. Jumbo sized if you will.

Although, since I went to Tufts and Jumbo was our mascot, maybe that means I should be making jumbo sized muffins?

They look delish, Iris, and pretty healthy, too! :-) What I think we all need for muffins, cookies, etc. is an automatic dispenser with a daily limit per person! Then the size would not be that big of an issue. ;-)
